Scope and Content

1 sheet ; 8 1/2" x 14" This is a photocopy of a handwritten sheet given to Grace Brady, Historic Preservation Officer for St. Mary's County, by Thomas Mattingly, a County Commissioner in 2009. Title: Negro slaves of Doct. Wm. Edelin [also spelled Edelen in many documents], July 23, 1860 There are two columns of names with ages and a third column of recent infants with the mother's name in parentheses and the birth date on the far right. This was added later because all of the infants were born after July 23, 1860. Most of the years of birth are cut off in the copying. The slaves are listed in rough order by their ages. There are unexplained asterisks by two male names. A note between the second and third columns says, "36 in all," even though there are 69 names on the sheet. Not all the names are legible. I do not know why the list was made at this particular time.
